In this deliciously polemical work, a giant of cultural theory
immerses himself in the ideas of a giant of French thought. In his
inimical style, Zizek links Deleuze's work with both Oedipus and
Hegel, figures from whom the French philosopher distanced himself.
Zizek turns some Deleuzian concepts around in order to explore the
'organs without bodies' in such films as Fight Club and the works
of Hitchcock. Finally, he attacks what he sees as the 'radical
chic' Deleuzians, arguing that such projects turn Deleuze into an
ideologist of today's 'digital capitalism'. With his brilliant
energy and fearless argumentation, Zizek sets out to restore a
truer, more radical Deleuze than the one we thought we knew.
